Since I did not get an answer on my thread, "Waiting" am posting a new topic.

FYI, that Nebraska divorce law posted (1994) is outdated. I called a lawyer. The divorce here becomes final 1 month after decree but no remarriage anywhere in world until 6 months from decree. With this in mind, can I go ahead and send in the initial app now? The INS person was not even sure, but thought since it lays on a desk for awhile it would be okay. (6 months is up next month).

New Question: Where is the up-to-date list of things my guy needs to send to me to include? Does he need to fill out 4 bio papers (identical)? I have tons of chats to prove relationship. What is maximum you recommend sending. I also want to write a letter with important info to include (such as when ex left, and other relationship proof such as number of chats I have as evidence that is not submitted, number of phone calls, etc.). Is this accepted? (not a form letter).


Am in a hurry so he can get it to me right away so I can file before end of month when rates go up.

What is fastest way to send from morocco and will he know where to get pic taken? How much does that cost?

THANKS

You might want to post your question regarding the divorce in the K1 forum.

You don't need to send proof of relationship now (ie. chat logs, phone records), all they need is proof of meeting in the past 2 years (boarding passes, passport stamps, maybe some receipts and photos). However, when dealing with Morocco, it's probably best to send to much rather than too little. Any additional info you want to send, such as a letter, will be accepted and forwarded on to Casa. It's not something they will pay attention to at the USCIS level, but Casa will look at it.

Thanks for quick answer. Where can I find exactly what I need him to send me now? Regarding the applications, I tried to download from INS site so I can email to him and then have him email back so I can check before printing but my computer says I cannot save them to my computer. What can I do? I thought I should check them.

You need to answer this question... It is a requirement that when you file your petition, you must be free to marry....

In your situation, on the filing date of the petition (if you do this before the 6 mos. period).... Are you free to marry (anywhere in the world)?

So what happens if I go ahead and send ahead of when they want me to send? Will the reject? Will I have to double pay app. fee (next time too), will I have to redo everything? As I said the INS person thought it would be okay, that they only look at divorce decree.

Who knows if they will reject it.... I suppose they would have to have knowledge of NE law, but NE is not the only state with a 6-month "cooling off" period after a divorce.

If they do reject then you would indeed pay again when you resubmit....

Be sure to have your fiance ask for American style visa photos- that way he will get the correct size. We had the photos done in Morocco and asked for passpost photos so they were smaller than ours. We sent those in, however and never had a problem.

Someone told me they have to sign something in Arabic. What is that?

Take a look at the I-129F. #16 is the name and address of the beneficiary written in his/her native alphabet. Is this what you mean?

Maybe what they are speaking of is that on the I-129f, it requests the beneficiary's address to be written in there native alphabet if it is different from the roman alphabet.

OK, thanks for the pic tip.

Here is what I will email him to send to me, numbered, and a couple more questions. All help/suggestions extremely welcome. If more than one copy is needed, please let me know.

1. This letter of intent:


His name and address here


July 6, 2007


United States Department of State
Immigration and Naturalization Service
United States Consulate, Casablanca


To Whom It May Concern:

I, xxxxxxxxxxxxxx do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marryxxxxxxxxxxx and intend to do so within 90 days of my entry into the United States using the K-1 Visa.

Signed,




xxxxxxxxxxxxxx


2. G-325A to fill out and try to send back to me to check (biographical info) and do I need 4 copies of this from him?

3. I-129F to check (I've filled it out), sign, and print and send to me.

4. Request of American style visa pic.

THANKS AGAIN - U GUYS ARE GREAT

How many photos does he need to send me to submit?

I know I don't need this info right NOW but he won the visa lottery once. Would it be helpful or hurtful to include this info including his letter of selection? I suppose he didn't come because of money, his parents, ties there, etc.

Yes, you will need four ORIGINALLY SIGNED G-325a (do not sign one and make three photocopies)

just a tip...sometimes its best to sign in blue ink. ive heard of them not being able to determine an origional from a copy if its done in black.

He needs 2 photos for your submission. He will need more later when it gets to Morocco.

To save time, he can download the I-129 fillout his address and name in arabic and send it to you to complete. Or you can write it in Arabic yourself or have a friend who can write in Arabic do it for you. He can also compelte the bio sheet online- you type the first page and it automactically completes all four pages. He then prints it and sends it with everything. Saves time of you sending it to Morocco.

Regarding the lottery. I know on the forms for the consulate interview they ask if he has every applied or received a visa. I don't remember howing to give this information for the first submission to USCIS. Answer honestly, they will have a record of it anyway.

What about this idea regarding my 6 mo. waiting period? --

We postdate everything (except signatures?) to reflect a date after my waiting period is up but still send it in ASAP to avoid the increase in fee?



Just one copy of the I-129?

Ok, ANYthing else he needs to send me?

I-129
4 copies of bio sheet
2 pics
letter of intent

Everything else you can complete on your own.

If your divorce decree shows it is a final decree with no stipulation written on the document itself that the final date is 6 months or whatever the law says, then I say send it in. USCIS is looking for evidene that the divorce has been finalized and your divorce papers shoudl show the final date. Go by that date.

I glanced at the I-129 and did not see a place for him to sign. He has to send me this, or I complete it? I have already entered his information.

the i-129f is prepared by the petitioner. there isn't a place for the beneficiary to sign it, just the petitioner.

see the example here
http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-129F.pdf

There is no place for him to sign, but there is a place for him to fillout his name and address in his native language. If you can do this in Arabic, he wont need to do anything for yhr I-129.

Where is that? I don't see it. I will have him print and send to me too, but I need to know what liine he signs the (-129 on?

Never mind, I found it.

block 16 is where you put his name and address in his native language. no line for him to sign on the i-129f. refer to my previously listed link for the vj example form.

ARE THE TWO PICS HE SEND SUPPOSED TO BE TWO DIFFERENT POSES OR TWO OF THE SAME POSE?

same pose. here's a link for info on the pics
http://travel.state.gov/passport/guide/com...sition_874.html

THANKS.

On the bio sheet it says that the form is submitted with application for

naturalization
status as permanent resident
other

what is it?

On the I-129 I could find no number on my birth certificate, so just put location issued (place of birth), is that okay?

at bottom of bio it says be sure and put name and alien registration number in this box, does he fill that out too? I don't think he has a number yet.

If you have not already, the site has sample filled out forms... You might find it helpful to glance at those.

Am I right in thinking that I mainly need his signatures, and can write in the rest later, if necessary, when i receive it here?

filing for a K-1 fiance visa

I am not sure what number on your birth certificate you are looking for? Maybe you are confusing the naturalized citizen number? native orn citizen won't have one.

Write none on alien number for him. He will be assigned one later.

now Yallah Yallah! July 30 is coming soon!







yes! Can he fill it out online? Maybe you can chat while he types in the answers? then he acan print, send and sign? BUT no problem with you completing the form. I did and just had my husband sign where I told him

NOW yallah yallah! LOL what does yallah mean? That's what I'm telling HIM... NOW NOW Now!! And the fastest way to send it their express mail? I could not open the sample filled in forms, so thanks for the tips here.

sounds like you might not have adobe acrobat installed. you'll need it
are you on your own computer or a work one?

I have last year's model Dell here at home. I can open both forms and save the I-129 but cannot save the bio form, wanted to try to fill some of it in for him before emailing. I have reader 7.0

some of the forms you can fill in but can't save, others you can both fill in and save. trial and error is about the only way to find out. you can look at some of the available forms on vj or try the uscis site.

yalla.. is like saying GO! Hurry Up! if you want some real emphasis you say EmSHeeeeee! like Move Your A$$

one yallah is "let's go"
two or more yallahs means hurry , now
in Darija (Moroccan Arabic) emshee means Go or leave me alone depending on how you pronouce it

THANKS FOR THE TRANSLATIONS! WILL USE THEM TODAY!

SO HAPPY YOUR HUSBAND IS ALMOST WITH YOU!
